Re: BBC Panorama: "Scientology and Me"

[Freethinking2010]

Keep up the good work, Sweeney!

[GodOfCreation46]

I live in singapore and scientology does not exist here... Yet. Soon, some brainwashed faggy idiot will come to my country and decide it's a good place to set up HQ.

Fuck scientology.

[megamarsvin]

John Sweeny rocks. Scientologists are evil or brainwashed. You can't be a normal person and actually believe any of that BS about thetans, it's simply not possible.

[deepfriedscrotum]

$cientology should be banned (like i think is the case in Germany), its a dangerous cult that harrases, blackmails and tortures its critics while brainswashing its members....id say i'll be followed by private investigators nw!

[alanshemper]

Send all your monies to L Ron Hubbard!!!

[EldritchMask]

Why does Scientology so happy to shout people down while refusing to respond to any criticism aimed at them. Its not so much a cult as an army of fanatics.

[XenuTravolta]

John Sweeney is a hero.

[proximodiz]

An hero rather

[XenuTravolta]

I'm putting a star on the fridge for you!

[digitalltruth]

what operating thetan do you have to bang around her to get some questions answered?

scientologists should make answering questions and denial a part of their 'education'... oh wait

[grungeface87]

Congrats John Sweeney, you've just been added to my small but select Christmas card list.

[VendettasD]

John sweeney IS with the BBC. Wow, shows how much you obviously know.

SCIFAG!

[LessthanJake14]

Oh excellent, compelling argument. So this is supposed to bring in more lambs? Because a reporter was asking reasonable questions?

[texascoach]

Yeah right crappyfotodude, you have nothing to do with scientology.

You guys are a PARANOID CULT.

I've watched tons of interviews with you idiots, and all of you blab on and on as if you're well read on any subject that comes up. If you're so well read, why don't you try shutting up for a second, let someone express themselves freely without interuption, then chime your two cents in.

[Transcendoslo]

Well since this hasn't been disabled for comments, I have something I'd like to say in this matter: scientologists' spokesperson Tommy Davis acts in an extremely agressive and arrogant fashion on the videos posted on youtube. His "church" is supposedly higly regarding of ethics. Though, the ways of the "church" are highly unethical. You people are capable of thinking for yourselves. Do so. Don't buy brainwashing BS. Start a new life.

[projekted]

"spoiling the atmosphere" hahahah

Like what? Bringing everyone back to reality? Forcing real issues?

I JUST WANNA SEE THE MOVIE STARS MAN!

[coolfotodudes]

The BBC Reporter's mad outbusts are not reality. Keep you conversations with you imaginary friends to yourselves.

You sound like a member of the Church of Climate Change particularly the Sect of Glowarmers. :)

[projekted]

nah dude. i just like it when the media actually challenges things.

instead of just ignoring it and going along with it because tom cruise and other celebrities are involved.

i'd consider myself a realist.

[Lenin200488]

@coolfotodudes

Imaginary friends like Xenu, perhaps?

[projekted]

Good job. BBC pushes an issue, American media hides.

[AUserName]

John Sweeney FTW!

[kingdomoflulz]

good for him! go John Sweeney!

[LOVEApplePieMUCH]

Wow, you guys, (Scientologists), are mean people. I can't imagine a religion, when criticize, would retaliate like that. I would imagine a religion being criticized would say," I apologize, may peace be with you." Or something like that

[alexoidztube]

That's not the half of it- have a good look at the tactics of "special affairs"! I have to admire the work L Ron did to invent a fake religion based on "Dianetics" a book he wrote off the top of his head in a few weeks,and turn it into a global money making machine!

[Superphilipp]

WIth all respects to John Sweeney, but the people he interviewed did the real work. And none of that was really new.

[cryptking]

MadisonLee555 is just a Scieno stooge going around and putting the same spambot comments on everything linked to this story. Spin it baby, spin it.

For Xenu

Yahoo!: It's Fate Uncertain, BBC Plans Significant Layoffs, Budget Cuts

Merlely 3 years ago the BBC experienced their biggest budget cuts in 82 years. The article illustrates "intense criticism on two fronts" the two reasons for this one from the public and one from the critics:

[MadisonLee555]

Reason #1 The most visible was a dispute with Prime Minister Tony Blair over a BBC radio report that the government distorted intelligence reports. After Public inquiry exonerated the government the corps chair and director general had to step down.

[MadisonLee555]

Reason#2 "The critics have contended that the BBC's quest for ratings has led to dumbing down and a vulgarization of its programming."

The information illustrates when a major growing of mistrust and criticism began and how severe it was and how they are even cutting the budget in 2007. See above Google link.

The Observer, UK

[ChrisKalhoun]

Why are people so afraid to let people follow there own path ? Does this reporter have a right to report freedom of speach, absolutley. Does he have a right to spread hatred and attacks on someones beliefs, I think not. We all have a responsibility to express our beliefs in a constructive manor, this was clearly not a constructive manor and therefore the reporter was completely out of line.

[mongobobo]

Wow they got to him. BBC should of really hired someone a bit more stable if they were to take on a powerhouse such as Scientology. lol

[foxcell]

go on Jhon

[RAQDES]

SCEINTOLOGY IS RUN BY CRIMINALS

[warhammer1]

From the looks of this video, you Scientologists are dogging Sweeney again, had cameras trained on him from more than one angle. Notice how all clips of Sweeney "yelling and ranting" are so short (less than 1 min) and how he is surrounded by other people talking and yelling to get Travolta's attention. oh by the way, you are a CULT in every sense of the word. (ever wonder why "Thetan" sounds suspiciously like "Satan" but with a lisp? Come on, sent an OT8 to my doorstep, please do ;)

[coolfotodudes]

The footage covers 1 hour. With Sweeney's rant covering about 15 minutes. He interrupted us videoing the premiere. I have nothing to do with Scientology. You can get covereage of it a coolfotodudes dot net. Costs money though.

[warhammer1]

Whatever the case, I know how tough it is to make yourself heard when in a noisy place. I still wouldn't call it a rant. These scientologists exaggerate the smallest thing, like Mark Bunker's accidentally stepping on the foot of one that sneaked up behind him to get "assaulted"...that pussy!

[DroopyDDawg2007]

And? It is a sinister brainwashing cult :P

[corvino21]

Wow typical BBC. Still as propaganda ridden and prejudiced as ever. I don't fancy anything about scientology but i'm not gonna go out of my way to belittle people just cause they don't agree with what I think. Just one more reason i don't watch BBC. Many of there reporters are as looney as the scientologists they attack.

[dopey113]

Discover what Evil a Cult this is, Murderers, Liars, kidnappers, brainwasher's and thieves they are. the truth is out there (but you wont get it from any Scientologist) Here are just a few to get you started.

janman88, americans degrade us all by allowing this CULT to spawn its EVIL across the world!

What has america done to stop this cult?

John Sweeney has done us all a favour by exposing this vile cult to the wider community!

While you sit on your arse and do NOTHING!

This is YET another mess by america that others will have to deal with!

That`s the reality of this sorry affair!

[janman88]

Sweeney degrades all of us by his rants.

[pietershazam]

In the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland $cien£ology is recognised neither as a church nor a charity. It is, in fact a cult. $cien£ologists do not like that word, so let me repeat it -- CULT.

[secure61]

To all the SCIENTOLOLGISTS u guys are the mind control CULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FreelanceAlex]

IF YOU WANT TO FULL STORY GO TO - bbcpanorama-exposed(dot)org and watch the video.

[Chrispy7]

freak!

[nath1234]

Just how many bloody scientologists are there on youtube..

Funny how you all joined up around the time the show was going to go to air..

C U L T. It's nothing more than a scam and a business..

[scientologyandme]

See how many anti-cult drones are on YouTube, brainlessly repeating some propaganda nonsense. You really come across stupid, parroting this rubbish. Look at Sweeney: He is at least open about his bias. Poor guy, I don't think he could image that he would get hacked that much for "doing the usual" BBC reporting.

[warhammer1]

hmmmm anti cult drones...us?? OMG so that means that you ARE a friggin money grubbing, oppressive, destructive and totally idiotic CULT!!! Oh no, looks like someone Freudian slipped and fell on his arse

[ericdxx]

OMG that John Sweeney had made up his mind from the beginning.

[LondonProphet]

The tide of opinion has swung behind John Sweeney (thankfully)

[qbrute]

I notice that the johnaxelwood and blackpanorama videos from Scientologists have power of veto over comments. Control of opinion or what! I support John Sweeney for standing up to the bully.

[Chrispy7]

totally they have deleted all of my comments

[neologizer222]

google - operation clambake

and find out what scientology is really about

[HayaiMusha]

My name is Michael Perry. I'm 21 I live in the UK and that should be enough for the Scientologists to get my profile from. I really wanna see if they do a video about me for youtube so hear goes; I hate Scientology *Cowers*

[mongobobo]

That wasn't smart.

[babynanf]

Is this Sweeny guy O.K? He should take some vitamins LOL. He is crazy, how could the BBC choose him when they knew he had it bad for scientologists? I fell soory for him. He probably cries in his bed at night and now he may lose his job. Poor soul.

[davidsghost]

Americans have this notion that we need to act calm cool to look normal. I see Sweeny as being a pasionate man who cares a great deal about his job, hes not all fake like americans. Also Americans tend to think that crazy people shout where normal people do not. In fact a lot of crazy people act calm cool and collected & do horrible things. Scientology is a cult were people overdose on huge amounts of vitamins. What we don't see is Sweeny was tormented with giberish by the american cult.

[mongobobo]

davidsghost,

First of all your anti-American prejudice is silly and unnecessary. Second, he isn't behaving professionally. A journalist isn't supposed to be an advocate. I believe he truly lost it. It shows that the BBC picked the wrong man for this story. Knowing how good Scientology is at attacking its enemies they should of picked someone who wouldn't crack so easily and was better prepared for the onslaught they would face.

[alexoidztube]

I recon, bring on Jeremy Paxman-Tommy wouldn't stand a chance, despite all his amazing "tech" !

[poisonousnoise]

Thats unfair, he took a LOT of doses of small abuse from the Scientologists, they played "fair game" on him if you know what that is

[cultwatch2]

Hes not going to lose his job. He'll probably get a pay rise and a pat on the back.

[aktorchick1]

You're FIRED!

[Playd0h]

I love all these virals the Scientologists are putting out.

Awesome.

I'm scared.

[LoveCraken]

They call this journalism? Pah.

[georgemaddocks]

Haha stupid smear campaigns

Fucking scientologists, go suck Xenu's cock

[juzzers312]

i h8 sciencetogoly it is a weird cult

[kramnosugref]

Sweeney is clearly a nut-case!

[FreelanceAlex]

Want to know the real story.... go to bbcpanorama-exposed(.org) and watch the short video.

[pinealmouth]

Of course the Scinetologists are deeply deeply normal people who think our souls are controlled by phantom creatures from another planet...yup I'll go with that one, makes complete sense to me, LOL

[Dioptrickz]

John kicks ass!!

[emmet666]

Travolta or sweeney? Sweeney def kicks ass

[Dioptrickz]

Sweeney! You know it dude!

[blackster999]

He's just being a journalist, whats your point?

I know they can be annoying but that's what just what they do.

[paulnewton999]

He needs to shout louder

[aktorchick1]

This man needs some mental help.

[areyo]

why, because he dares to ask a celebrity questions that actually mean something and are important? I think you need the mental help.

[Dioptrickz]

hell yeah! plus scientologists are the ones in need of mental help.... but they hate psychiatrists so....

[areyo]

indeed, maybe they should kill themselves :p

[aktorchick1]

Losers and Haters. Get a life. You know not what you speak of.
